In-Store Communications Award
Sleep Number: Communication by the Numbers Oakbrook Promenade, Chicago
When the product is called a “Sleep Number” bed, it makes sense for the shop design to be focused on numbers. From the store exterior‘s iconic door and illuminated number window graphics, the brand is immediately introduced in the architectural facade. Inside, the journey continues with IndividualFit 3D imaging, which measures 1,000 pressure points between the customer and the bed‘s surface. The interactive communication personalizes the shopping experience to help customers find the product that is right for them.
